Spaceweather: More Storming

Earth's polar magnetic field remains stormy and unsettled two days after the CME impact of Sept. 3rd. A moderately strong (Kp=6) geomagnetic storm is underway now, sparking bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. Jónína Óskarsdóttir sends this picture of the display on Sept. 5th from Faskrudsfjordur, Iceland:


"After a long summer with the midnight sun, I'm so happy to see the auroras again," says Óskarsdóttir. "I'm looking forward to all the sleepless nights ahead."
